At this writing, there's fewer than 23 hours left to preorder/pledge for Shortpacked! Book 4! If you want to make sure you get a sketched-in book or a chance at some unique swag, this is your last chance. Don't miss out!

Also, I've just put in for an Artist Alley table at BotCon this summer. So look for me there! At least, look for me there when there's not an interesting panel or it's lunch or something. I'll be bringing Dinobot posters and some other interesting new goodies.

First off, I will not be attending San Diego Comic-Con this year. I apologize! But we're moving out of our house to a new apartment across town that same week, so also doing a convention on the other side of the country is kind of a non starter. Some time after we move into our new apartment at the beginning of August, Shortpacked! Book 4 will arrive. You don't want to have to move a ton of books twice, that's for sure! So they're arriving after our move and not before. Meaning, most importantly to us all, that they wouldn't have been there to buy at SDCC anyway.

Of course, my Blank Label Compatriots, Spike and Kel, will still be there, and will be happy to sell you their things.

(Anybody want to pick me up a 20-inch Stay Puft Marshmallow Man?)

Next, BotCon! They've just put their schedule up, so now I have a general idea of when I will be at my table:

Friday: 2-5pm

Saturday: 9-11am, 2-5pm

Sunday: 11am-1pm, 2-3:30pm

Basically, if there's a voice actor panel, IDW panel, or video game panel, I'm likely to be at my artist alley table. But I ain't missin' no script readings or Hasbro panels!

Just yesterday two new posters came in from the printer! Joining the Dinobot "HONOR" poster, now there's also a Waspinator "PLANS" poster! And now there's also a Recordicons group shot poster. Every Recordicon who's shown up so far, plus a few extras, are in this thing. Both are 11x17 inches and printed on glossy card stock, and are now available in theonline store. At my BotCon table I'll also have an assortment of smaller prints, too.

It's not really so much a sale so I don't have to move as much stuff ('cuz there's no way I'm putting a serious dent in the two tons of books I have in my house) as it's a sale to help cover some of the costs of the moving!

In the Shortpacked! storeyou'll find books for less and old Joyce and Walky! subscription strips for a good amount off. I've chosen them because they are both things I can still find time to package/ship or email pretty easily as we start to take our house apart. Wish me luck! We start putting our stuff into a new place (just on the other side of town) on the 15th.

At ConnectiCon, Joel Watson was all "Hey, do some t-shirts." And I'm all "I can't I am small and weak." So he says, "Yeah we know but do them anyway here's how."

So here I am doing tshirts again! Some people are really great at designing tshirts. I am not one of those people! I am much better at doing only webcomics and starving. But the way I have this set up works around that. These shirts are made to order. I don't gotta do a print run of 30 million, sell only two, and then live out of a cardboard box. (Presumably the cardboard box that the shirts came in.) I also don't have to mail them myself! I get to keep drawing both my webcomics! There is no downside. You get shirts you hopefully want, and I don't die destitute on the street, pretending a cafeteria tray is a Cintiq.

Example of something no one will buy.

And because these are made to order, that means I can be more experimental and throw up some shirts that people have asked for, but were ideas that I didn't think had mass appeal. So right now this is a brainstorming session, where I throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks.

Sell my shirt to those who ask. Sell it truly.

Right now, because I'm in the middle of moving, and because Joel did a comic about how my wife is unsatisfied by my small penis, I'm just gonna link you to his Sharksplode FAQ page in lieu of my own. All of the information is the same. It's the same t-shirt/shipping company. When I'm done moving, I'll just plagiarize that and put it on my own site. Because that's the kind of friend I am to Joel. Joel's FAQ page has all sorts of information on the high quality of these shirts, the sizings, etc. (Remember, girls sizes run a size small! Also, I don't know what that means. Check out the size charts. I will be stealing those, too.)

Here's the store link! Let us do this thing, and clothe ourselves. As time goes on, I'll let you know when I throw additional designs into the store. I have at least two more that I'm holding back on at the moment. They're not as strong, I feel, but that's what this experiment is for, right? To try scary things?
